Last week, Democratic leaders in the House pulled federal funding for new contraceptive services and current programs to stop sexually transmitted diseases from the $825 billion economic stimulus bill after Reps. John Boehner (R-Ohio), Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), and Mike Pence (R-Indiana) cast a spotlight on the multi-billion dollar plunder for family planning. Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), wrote an article in the style of C. S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters in response to this outlandish spending titled, “Pelosi’s Abortion 'Stimulus' Fails. For Now.” You can find it at http://www.cwa.org and http://www.humanevents.com. “Nancy Pelosi defended the massive pay-off to her political ally Planned Parenthood by claiming that reducing the number of America’s children will benefit government. … Rather than complain that America’s children are a drain on government health care and education, Congress should stop growing government programs. Value children, not government. Reduce spending, not people,” said Wendy in a CWA press release.
